Quebec Student Strike: Police Begin to Apply Draconian Bill 78
Friday, 25 May 2012
'Well over 100,000 people marched through the streets of Montreal on Tuesday to mark the 100th day of the student strike
Quebec authorities have begun to make use of the
sweeping repressive powers contained in Bill 78—the emergency
legislation the provincial Liberal government rushed through the
National Assembly late last week to suppress the province-wide student
strike.
On Tuesday evening, just hours after 150,000 people
had demonstrated in Montreal to mark the 100th day of the strike and
denounce Bill 78, police invoked the new law to declare a nighttime
student protest illegal.'
